Celebrate The First Day of Spring with A Halls Allergy Preparation Giveaway

March 20, 2011 by Momstart 641 Comments

Remember a few weeks ago when I was sick? I’m laughing out loud right here, because no I don’t expect any of you to keep up with when I’m well or when I’m sick, but for a reminder, I had a cold and Halls sent me a gift set of Halls Cough Drops just in time. I still have that lingering cough, but it’s much better. There is something going around that leaves you coughing for a month..it really sucks, so I’m happy to host a giveaway with Halls.

Not only does this help those of you that might already have a cold, but today is the first day of Spring.

Happy Spring!

So what comes with Spring that isn’t so wonderful, yep, those pesky allergies. I love to work in the garden, I really do, but I almost always end up with a cold or sinus infection. Then of course, I need and look to using cough drops again! And I put my husband in the garden to finish my work for me. Thank Goodness for him. Did you know that you could consider supplementing your allergy regimen with Halls?

While allergy medication provides all-day relief, HALLS with Advanced Vapor Action can offer FAST, soothing relief – it starts working within 10 seconds!

Juice and Cough Drops

March 4, 2011 by Momstart 4 Comments

It’s taking me forever to kick this cold in the bucket. Sneezing, coughing, lack of sleep, it’s an endless cycle and I’m trying so hard to get out of the swirling vortex of exhaustion. To my surprise, Halls and V8 both heard my cries of daily drowning in mucus, sending me two cute get well gifts. I received a dose of yummy juice and a package of Halls cough drops. So now I’m sucking on Halls for the sore throat and building up my vitamin intake with glasses V8. Of course by the time I’m feeling better it’s going to be time for Spring allergies. Aye Yi Yi!

Where Was This Halls Cold and Flu Season Survival Kit When I Needed It Giveaway

January 6, 2011 by Momstart 463 Comments

Yes, oh yes I was sick!

My husband was sick,

And my daughter was sick!

Poor Zoe was sick right before Christmas, she was sick the whole week of Christmas to be exact. And it wasn’t until my dh and I were sick that I realized how very awful she must have felt. You see, we had the flu. Not the stomach flu, thank God, because puking is THE WORST, but the fever, the night sweats, the body ache, the headaches; which by the way, I’ve still been having headaches. I’m thinking of calling the doctor soon and finding out why I still have headaches because I don’t have the flu anymore. And my head is hurting so much, I just want to hide under the covers and not exist at ALL.

Anyways. We were sick!

I could have used Halls! So I ask, where was this for me……

Can you use Halls this year. And when I’m asking I mean, every product they make. That’s right. We’re giving away the ultimate Halls collection of products a 40.00 value. All I had to do to offer you this giveaway was share this survey with you:

A survey was just released about cold and flu season and this kit will help keep moms and their families healthy all year long!

Survey Overview: Americans show up (or at least consider showing up) for work while sick during cold & flu season. Some because they won’t get paid if they don’t go, some because their boss pressures them and others because they simply have too much to do and fear falling behind. Some stats that really stick out are:

· Nearly half of Americans (44 percent) would consider going to work with a fever.

More than a third of Americans (32 percent) said they would show up to work no matter how sick they get this season.
Nearly half of Americans (46 percent) said they did not take a sick day last cold & flu season (October 2009 – March 2010).
One in five Americans (19 percent) feel pressured by their boss or supervisor to head into work when they’re sick.
One in three (31 percent) Americans said they wouldn’t get paid for taking off on a sick day.
One in 10 (11 percent) said they would likely fall behind on their bills by taking a sick day.
More than 10 percent of Americans thought they would not likely receive their next pay raise or promotion, or worse, would lose their job for calling out sick.

*Survey conducted by Kelton Research on behalf of HALLS®

Halls Cough Drops Giveaway

October 16, 2010 by Momstart 159 Comments

Halls seems to be a Fall and Winter staple for me as I would have to say they are my favorite brand for cough drops. My husband doesn’t share my sentiment so we usually have two different brands in the house, and the Halls are mine! No wait, I’m wrong. I was just now looking at the Halls website and all of the different flavors and types of Halls they have and I found the Halls Breezers, that is my husband’s favorite flavor. I’m a fan of the Cherry regular Halls and the Refresh Halls are good too!

It may seem like it is early in the season but I’ve already been sick. I had a cold and a sore through for a week, but I had an annoying cough for almost three weeks. This was even before this campaign came up because I had to send my husband to the store. He came home with Halls, tea and cookies, everything a woman needs to get well.

In Case you haven’t seen one up close.

Enter to Win:

1 of away (2) prize packs that contain 10 Halls Sticks in each

To Enter:

Tell me which Halls Flavor is your favorite.
